As a writer I always backed up my work but I did after I was done with the project not during the project. But I had a virus on my laptop and it wiped out everything!!!!!!! They not only destroyed my software but my hardware. I took it to Best Buy and thank heavens for the Geek Squad it’s all fixed now, but I am just so mad I could spit. The good news is my proofs for my memoir and all the work I have done on my new YA novel are still with us. The bad news my word program and Nikon program are no longer there. Why do people do this? It is just so damn cruel.

And after a nice birthday, I’m back to work on Chatting With Sherri!

Chatting With Sherri Welcomes Back Karri Thompson! 02/24 She will chat about her book Mirror X and all her wonderful stories.

Cassie Dannacher wakes up in a hospital over 1,000 years into the future after her space capsule is retrieved from space. She soon learns that 600 years prior to her arrival, the earth was struck by a plague, killing over half of the world’s population. Naïve and desperate, Cassie, who longs for home and is having trouble adjusting to the new, dictatorial 31st century government, is comforted by Michael Bennett, the 20-year old lead geneticist at the hospital where she was revived. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/rithebard/2015/02/24/chatting-with-sherri-welcomes-back-karri-thompson
